Friend Request

Friend Request Release Date: September 22, 2017

In the movie Friend Request, when a college student unfriends a mysterious girl online, she finds herself fighting a demonic presence that wants to make her lonely by killing her closest friends.

This ultra-low budget movie, filmed in Germany in the year 2014 and financed by Germans, is somehow getting a wide theatrical release in the United States, (three years after its completion and over a year after its UK release, where it bombed spectacularly), from the nearly non-existent “movie studio,” Entertainment Studios, manned by 3 people, with no publicity or marketing departments.

If the film earns more than $150 per theater during its first three days in theaters, it will be a miracle akin to finding gold at the end of a rainbow.

Why any theater chain of significance would even book this film is the biggest question, as any film booker with half a brain knows that this movie, with not even an F-list cast, rather a cast of complete unknowns, will make nothing.
